(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lotta Nieminen. Mediocre rhymes accompany bustling illustrations of sights and people with additional details under unfortunately hard-to-lift flaps. Kids may have difficulty interpreting the place- and culture-specific spreads, many of which jumble together famous landmarks (e.g., Pisa's Leaning Tower, a Venetian gondolier, and an erupting volcano are side by side). Nevertheless, ambitious kids (with adult help) will find plenty to pore over.
